For several decades now, there have been calls to decolonize research on the Indigenous Sami people, and to make it accountable to the Sami society. While this has contributed to the rise of a vibrant Sami research community in the Nordic countries, less attention has been paid to what extent, and how the "Sami turn" in research has been implemented in practice. Written by prominent Nordic and Sami scholars anchored in the Sami research communities in Finland, Norway and Sweden, this volume explores not only the meanings and implications of this turn across disciplines, but also some of the challenges that efforts to create space for Sami voices, knowledges and perspectives still meet today. The book provides a timely, interdisciplinary engagement with the central themes that have framed the development of Sami research, and a critical appraisal of the impact that efforts to decolonize research in the Sami context have had upon Nordic societies and state policies so far. Sami Research in Transition is valuable for scholars and students interested in Sami history and society, Arctic and Circumpolar Indigenous studies and critical studies on the relationship between knowledge and social change.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Sami education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the cross-national character of the Sami population, academic literature on Sami education has so far been published within the different nation states in the Sami area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to Sapmi and the Americas. The chapters frame Sami school history within an international context of indigenous and minority education. In doing so, two narrative threads are established: both traditional history of education, and perspectives on the decolonisation of education. This pioneering book will appeal to students and scholars of Sami education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
